    The Prayer Of Gethsemane Series

    Contributed by Chris Anderson on Mar 10, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,546 views

    Jesus clearly knew God’s will, and yet he had intense angst and the deep feeling of despair that came from actually obeying God’s will. This sermon is intended to equip you for those moments where DOING God’s will, is really really hard.

    If you’ve been around Christian circles for any length of time, there is a considerable amount of frustration in trying to determine God’s will. For some, it’s because we love the Lord and want to please him, so we want to make sure we’re making right choices that would honor him. But for others, ...read more

    As we continue to look at prayers from the Bible, we arrive and look at the life of Hannah. The prayer is in verse 11 but the events previous and post to her prayer draw to me great interest

    The LORD is a very present help in time of need.

    A PRAYER OF DAVID. Psalm 86:1-10, Psalm 86:16-17. PSALM 86:1. Whatever troubles the Psalmist was facing, he recognises two things: the greatness of the LORD (YHWH), and his own smallness. Such is his humility when he asks the LORD to “Bow down (His) ear” to such a one as is “poor and needy.” The ...read more

    O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth.

    A PRAYER OF PRAISE. Psalm 8:1-9. This is the only praise Psalm which is addressed entirely to the LORD. No call to worship like Psalm 95:1, ‘O come let us sing unto the LORD’. No asides to the congregation like Psalm 107:2, ‘Let the redeemed of the LORD say so’. Psalm 8:1. The vocative ...read more

    How long, Lord.

    WATCHING IN PRAYER. Habakkuk 1:1-4, Habakkuk 2:1-4. This is the oracle or “burden” which Habakkuk the prophet did “see” (Habakkuk 1:1). So, right from the top, we understand that the prophet’s patient waiting of Habakkuk 2:1 paid off. When Habakkuk speaks of his message as a burden, it ...read more

    Preparing For Prayer

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 10, 2022
     | 1,385 views

    An overview of how to truly prepare yourself before you go to God in prayer.

    I have shared with a few of you the past few days or weeks that after the Bible study in the Book of Daniel I was thinking about explaining and giving detailed instructions on centering prayer. I haven’t done that in a number of years so I thought it would be good to discuss it this evening. I ...read more

    Contemplative Prayer

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 10, 2022
     | 1,627 views

    Contemplative prayer is much like two lovers in love with each other. In contemplation we use new approaches or tools, if you will, to hear God more completely, intimately, or thoroughly.

    Mark 1:35 – “35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he got up, went out, and made his way to a deserted place; and there he was praying.” This verse reminds me of how important it is to get away by myself and totally focus on God as I pray. Two weeks ago, we spent some time talking ...read more

    Persistent Prayers

    Jesus often taught in parables. Among his many listeners, some folks understood their meaning and some folks didn't. And that is still true today, because we all tend to hear what we want to hear.

    The Lord used these parables to convey a truth to the listeners then, and to His listeners now, by taking a physical situation to teach a spiritual truth. Luke 18:1-8 is a parable about prayer. This is made clear in the first verse of this parable, look at Luke 18:1, we read, “And he spake a ...read more

    Dimensions Of Prayer

    Contributed by Masimba Murisa on Apr 5, 2025
     | 433 views

    There are dimensions to prayer, levels that we can access or approach God through. We approach Him differently based on our needs and circumstances.

    1 The first dimension of prayer is to approach God as a Father (Romans 8:15) tells us that we have received the spirit of adoption, adopted into His Kingdom. Abba means endearing, loving always accepting, non-rejecting one. A father gives bread, provision for his children. He is always looking to ...read more

    "Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man" (Psalm 140:1a).

    A PRAYER FOR PROTECTION. Psalm 140:1-9. This is a Psalm of David, no doubt from the time when he was pursued by his enemies in the wilderness. The Psalm switches between singular foes: pointing perhaps particularly to king Saul and his three thousand men at arms; and Doeg and the Ziphites, who ...read more

    An Anthem Of Prayer

    Contributed by Arlen Payne on Jul 5, 2025
     | 150 views

    This Psalm is sometimes called "Israel Anthem of Prayer. It encourages us to pray when we are about to enter into a difficult time of situation. The message is not original with me. I'm not even sure who to attribute it to, I found it in some of my old sermon notes.

    An Anthem of Prayer Psalm 20 Intro. A. Psalm 20 & 21 go together. B. Both are battle songs. (One before & one after the battle) C. Psalm 20 is a prayer, Psalm 21, praise. D. David was almost always at war. E. This time he was ...read more
